The arrest of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) Edhy Prabowo by the Commission for the Eradication of Corruption (KPK) has tarnished the image of the Gerindra Party. Gerindra (Ketum) Party Chairman Prabowo Subianto stepped in to give instructions.
Gerindra Party Chairman Sufmi Dasco Ahmad explained that Prabowo had already learned of the disturbing news that Edhy Prabowo was arrested for the KPK (OTT) arrest operation at Soekarno-Hatta Airport on Wednesday, November 25, 2020. in the morning.
According to Dasco, Prabowo then gave instructions. Prabowo asked to wait for more information from the KPK.
“We have informed our president general and the instructions of the president general to look forward to further development of the KPK information,” Dasco said at the DPR building, Senayan, Jakarta on Wednesday (11/25/2020).
Edhy Prabowo is currently Vice President (Waketum) of the Gerindra Party. Dasco does not want any further comment yet. His party is awaiting an official explanation from the KPK.
“So, for that, we from the Gerindra Party cannot comment further, we are still waiting for valid information from the KPK about it. And we ask the media colleagues to be patient and wait for more developments,” he said.
Prabowo’s story once said that he will imprison corruption cadres
KKP Minister Edhy Prabowo, who was arrested by the KPK OTT, is known to be one of the leaders of the Gerindra Party. Regarding the arrest of Minister Edhy Prabowo by Defense Minister, who is also the General Chairman of the Gerindra Party, Prabowo Subianto, once emphasized that he would imprison his cadres involved in corruption during the 2019 Presidential Election Debate.
This was expressed by Prabowo as a presidential candidate (candidates) in the 2019 presidential elections. At that time, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), who was a titular candidate, hinted at many corrupt former candidates nominated by Gerindra in the 2019 Pileg.
“Those are the data from which I have not received the report either and it is really very subjective. I selected the candidates and, if there is evidence, go ahead,” said Prabowo in the debate arena of the presidential elections at the Hotel Bidakara, in the South Jakarta on Thursday (1/17/2019).
At that time, Prabowo asked President Jokowi not to point the finger. Prabowo said in a loud and firm voice that Gerindra is serious about fighting corruption, even if any of his cadres are corrupt, Prabowo himself will imprison him.
“Let us not blame our respective parties. I guarantee Gerindra that he will fight corruption to its roots. If there is a cadre of Gerindra corruption, I will put him in prison myself,” Prabowo said.
